Arsenal boss Wenger happy with Holding at the back

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was encouraged by Rob Holding's performance for their 0-0 draw at Leicester City.

But he felt Arsenal should have taken more than a point.

"We could have got more out of that. It was a game where we had the chances and I think it was a game of intensity and quality," he said. "They were very direct as you know and we needed to have the courage to play without making mistakes at the back.

"It was a fight until the end and you could see Leicester have some mental qualities and that explains why they were champions last year."
